Also, I'm not sure why I thought Tausch played Guard, or how I forgot Mike Wahle. Figuring out the OL was pretty tough. After looking up Coffman and Ringo, they absolutely belong. Good look, @Norm Just wanted to mention three guys from the wasteland of the 70's-8o's who should be acknowledged: John Brockington RB IIRC, went for over 1000 yds his first four years with no one blocking for him. Brian Noble ILB; tough, rugged on a bad team. Ezra Johnson DE. Besides eating hotdogs on the bench Ezra was one helluva DE with Mike Butler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both at 80% since 2000. Crosby's average at home is the same as his career average on the road. Even if you think he's good in lambeau, he still has to kick on the road too. At best you're talking 1-2 more games in tough weather than other kicker situations. 1 hour ago, Outpost31 said: Crosby made 29/32 kicks outside of the Detroit game. That's one bad game in an otherwise great year, right around 91% of his kicks, and everyone acts like he sucks lol 1 hour ago, Outpost31 said: capable of consistently kicking 50 yard field goals. I'm capable of consistently kicking 50 yard FGs. Looking for someone who hits a few more than an average kicker, or a cheap kicker who hits the average number. Crosby hits 53% of 50+ yarders... wow. 1 hour ago, Outpost31 said: The Bears got rid of Gould. Gould has missed literally 3 field goals since. He has been 82/85 since the Bears let him leave. Robbie gould is/was an above average kicker. Crosby isn't. 1 hour ago, Outpost31 said: Especially in light of the last time he had a bad year. Crosby's worst year was literally followed by literally his best year. "impossible to predict" who will have a good season/bad season but here you are trying 1 hour ago, Outpost31 said: a good kicker false equivalency. Crosby is an average kicker. 1 hour ago, Outpost31 said: Especially in light of the last time he had a bad year.

Could have been the first free agent to get a third round comp pick. Thinking he won defensive player of the year for Buffalo after he left GB. Sean Jones was a great end for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just skipped over them like they didn't exist when going back over our teams years ago lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect the living hell out of NFL history and pre merger football but I'd have a hard time being convinced outside of his insane influence on this franchise and league that he belonged. I'm pretty well convinced, obviously not seeing them play. That he held no candle to someone like Thorpe or Grange. There's Illinois tape out there of red, fwiw. Thorpe's always evaded me though there was always rumors it existed. Nagurski, IMO, is the earliest guy that belongs on his teams all time list.

MacReady Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 @skibrett15, quote me so I can remember to respond to everything when I’m not at work. I’m tempted to offer you 50 dollars to make a 30 yard field goal, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-field-goal-conversion-pct Green Bay opponents made 75% of their kicks this past year. So I don’t know why you said 80%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
